Be careful not to press X 5 times. If you do then Ryu will complete the combo. The ending hit on the combo has some recovery time leaving you vulnerable to becoming fish food. This string has proven to be very effective to me. It's got a great consistency to get the time bonus and leave you untouched if done properly.

I'll try that, because I never get the time bonus on those things._________________

ok, that sounds like a good idea. tho im used to the technique with the flails and the fire wheels. just if u try to get eaten, slide ur fingers over the A,B,X,Y buttons and it shouldnt take a second for them to get off you, then start the combo again, or do cremator for temp. invincibility against them.

Yeah, I know that trick. Standard Fire Wheels and Flail in the Core against those spectral b*tches. Oh well, time for something else I think._________________

Oh deng, I just remembered. Scratch what I said eariler, the most difficult part in the game was the swimming mission.

There's this area in the mission where you swim in this simple maze like structure to get the silver medallion, I think. I mean yeah the controls were bad but the worst part was I did it WITHOUT the oxygen tank. I saved then spent like an hour trying to swim down that crevice until I realized there was a ship that I could swim too.

Man... and I was stocked full of health items before I did that too.

That's gotta hurt (and in your essence wallet too at that point). Luckily you found the oxygen tank._________________

I know man. I mean like yeh I know we as ninjas are supposed to be cunning and what not but that ship thing was TOTALLY vague. They shoulda atleast cut to a scene of Ryu looking around and spotting a sunkin ship when you entered the area.

I got about 3/4's through the maze and then I started running out of oxygen and I figured I might as well get to the end. When I got out of the maze and realized the oxygen tank was in the ship I literally turned the game off in disgust. My brother said all he remembered hearing was me saying:
"Oh my god, I can't believe this s***", over and over again.

To this day whenever my brother watches me play NG and I get to that area he immediately says, "Don't forget the oxygen tank this time genious."

I got stuck doing that puzzle after the first Doku fight. Annoying since I wanted action, not run around pulling levers. ^^_________________roses are #FF0000, violets are #0000FF,
